Provisional Grand Leader Dhingus here,

Well, this post is a little late but late is better than never! Im gonna lay out some dos and don'ts for you guys regarding building in our beautiful valley city of Endeavor. These are mostly going to touch on aesthetic qualities, building codes, and what to do when at a loss for what to do for our city.

Reinforcement in Endeavor

• Build your basic structures (walls, roofs, floors) under the reinforcement group "unitedprovinces". obviously you aren't obligated to put your doors and chests on the same group. This ensures that if you ever leave without a trace or half of your house burns down (or both!) we dont have to deal with the husk of your house permanently sitting there looking sad. This is an opt in kind of thing, if you have reservations im willing to discuss smaller groups.

• Build all public works under the group "unitedprovinces". This is a must and nonnegotiable.

• Keep your valuables in a dropchest that ISN'T IN YOUR HOUSE. Make sure it is deep enough underground to not be xrayed. I will be constructing a sort of undercity full of reinforced tunnels and false dropchests but its always safer to place it deep underground in the wilderness somewhere.

• Do not, under any circumstances, privately reinforce any large structure without permission.

• If you place unreinforced wood i will personally burn it down.

Aesthetics in Endeavor

• Essentially, Endeavor is a quaint valley city. I would like to hear some opinions on general look we're going for. Are we medieval switzerland? are we modern switzerland? are we a cyberpunk mosh pit in an outdoor cold-box? IMO we should push for a premodern (like nuusa's/ jenny's houses- the dark oak houses) built over the smatterings of an ancient town with old crumbling towers and walls dotting the ridges and throughout the town. maybe an old castle somewhere. lots of waterfalls and rivers feeding a nice lake in the center. Discuss, preferably on this post so we can all see it.

• So I've noticed an odd trend of copying the style of the factory around town. Frankly the factory is ugly. Lets not do this. I understand that resources are scarce but we can do better than square houses with flat roofs. I apologize if you have already built your house this way, its my fault for waiting this long to post this and i will help you with it if you want. Lets also try to get some colour in this city! (especially if we go cyberpunk, its always an option)

• Really just have fun building, that's what makes cities come to life.

I won't be running this place like we did in Blackcrowne, i know a lot of you guys aren't here for the sole purpose of building a pretty city and i plan to respek that. Everything i'm outlining about aesthetics is simply a suggestion.

When you are at a loss for what to do

We always need cobblestone, stone, charcoal, wood, wheat (essentially too important to eat nowadays), clay, and food. Lots of it. However you get it is up to you, theres mining, digging, mining, chopping, farming, mining, trading, mining, gathering, etc.

I look forward to building a great city with all of you!
